to Mari re the cords falling off slower on csection babies, in my situation
all 4 of my babies were vaginal births. The last two were totally unmedicated
. #1 i had an epidural and was induced with Pit. #2 had a little pit. to speed
up. alcohol applied to babies  1 & 2 was the only difference. Maybe I am the
only one to experience the alcohol helping?  Oh, had a friend who's baby
didn't have alcohol applied and was not off at 4 weeks. she started applying
alcohol and it came off in 2 days. so i know I'm not the only one. Lisa P.
